Wanna_bmw, Re: So maybe Intel should just give them and everybody else a license for free. Why not? So far the biggest problem for P4's acceptance has been poor chipset support (read: Rambus only). If Intel had given licenses out, say e.g. one year prior to the introduction, we might already see lots of different chipsets, including those that support DDR SDRAM. I'd understand if Intel wanted to have both the CPU and chipset market. But instead they made a half-hearted attempt to only allow certain companies they "like" (read: not Nvidia and VIA) building P4 chipsets. I almost can imagine the continuous struggle between the Intel CPU and chipset groups to give out licenses or not and the result is a bad compromise IMO. BTW, AMD doesn't charge anything for chipset licenses. And I don't think that's a mistake. Andreas
